FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS MIDDLESBROUGH

Whatever size or shape of room or area you are renovating, a decent screeding specialist in Middlesbrough will provide you with the experience and correct working methods to establish a perfect base for your floor. After analyzing your project they will advise you about the perfect choice of screed and which method of applying it is most suitable for your situation.

It may be a requirement, depending on the intended use of the area in question, for a structural engineering survey to abide by building regulations on load bearing, point loadings and flex strength of the screed floor.

A qualified and skilled work force is imperative for a successful outcome and will extend the life of your floor by using the right form of screed for your room's anticipated purpose. There are many different kinds of screed and picking the correct mix and laying approach is crucial to achieve a top quality floor which is durable and fit for purpose.

Make certain that you get 2 or 3 quotations for your Middlesbrough based screeding project and also ask what standard of finish each quote is for. The Surface Regularity (SR) finish is the figure to look for when studying a quote from your Middlesbrough screeding contractor. Each of the 3 SR levels deliver different standards of finish, with SR1 offering the highest quality, with the lowest amount of deviation over the area. Any errors in the final screeding can cause issues with laying flooring due to indentations, ridges, flat spots in the surface.

The regulations and guidelines laid down in the British Standards BS8204 must be observed by all Middlesbrough floor screeding contractors and they must also be approved by the manufacturers of specialist screeding materials (Flowcrete, Cemfloor, Gypsol etc.) to confirm their safe working practices and competence. A contractor holding such accreditation demonstrates they've been assessed and trained in the use of these screeding products and can offer a top notch service in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Widely used in domestic projects where the combination of cement and sand is perfectly acceptable for regular footfall use. 5 parts sand to 1 part cement is the usual mix for standard screeds. Once it has been laid this 5:1 ratio will dry at a rate of 1mm per day.

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Maker's guidelines for setting times are different across the product ranges.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is required this solution of cement and latex is employed to produce SR1 level floor screeding. It is mostly used to produce a smooth, level floor over a poor quality or damaged substrate and results in a finish onto which all sorts of flooring materials can be laid. They can be as little as 1mm in depth, and thanks to the latex polymers, will still provide high strength.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The preferred option for professional installers where under floor heating is being installed in residential homes in Middlesbrough. This is due to the increased strength and protection against thermal cracking and shrinkage offered by the fibres within the screed. At around one millimetre per day, it has a similar setting rate to standard screed.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Developed for maximum durability and strength on floors where traffic is high or heavy loading on the floor base is necessary.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you need to move forward urgently with the flooring due to time limitations, this screed dries much faster than standard screeds. Most of the fast drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are appropriate for a whole host of projects where the faster drying rate of three to seven millimetres is an advantage.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make sure the screeding is of a good quality finish which is hard wearing and durable, time should be devoted to fully preparing the area before any screed is laid. Any oil, grease, debris and paint on the original floor surface can adversely affect the bonding of the screed, and must be removed.

Any cleaning chemicals which are used during this stage shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor surface must be permitted to dry by itself naturally. At this stage any cracks need to be mended since these can easily travel up through your newly laid screed and be reflected in the finished floor surface. During a site survey your Middlesbrough screeding specialist will notice what preparation work is necessary before starting to work on the screeding.

To protect the screed layer and flooring materials from dampness rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be laid. Different gauges of polythene sheets might be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.

If your house is situated in an area where radon gas is found an extra barrier layer is required to prevent radon gas from getting through. An air-tight membrane may be sufficient in areas with relatively low levels of radon, but in more serious situations there may need to be a more sophisticated extraction system to remove any ground penetrating radon gases.

Once these steps have been taken the screeding company will put on a primer or sealer to the prepared base. Sealers and primers help with the bonding process and are specialist applications matched to the kind of screed that is being used. These products require certified contractors to apply them in the right proportions by using airless sprays and other bespoke equipment.

Before the screeding can be laid, any under floor heating will now set out and installed. The underfloor heating system will be carefully positioned and firmly secured to insulation panels to prevent potential movement during screed installation process. Warmth will be evenly spread across a floor area in a professionally installed under floor heating system, and along with it being an effective choice of heating, it's a good choice for most Middlesbrough renovation projects.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and poured onto the base surface. Your screeding specialist will give you guidance and advice on which screed type is best for your needs, in line with your proposed use of the room area. For advanced and quick drying screeds there will be at least 24 hours delay before it can be walked over, and a further Three days minimum before any flooring material can be fitted. If you are aiming to end up with a properly finished and long-lasting floor surface you must stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regard to standard and heavy duty screeds where this timescale will be longer.

Once the screeding has hardened it can be quality checked to establish the SR standard. The basic SR test involves the use of a 2 mtr long straight-edge to check for any variations in the floor surface.

• SR1 - SR1 is the best standard and permits just three millimetres of deviation from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - SR2 is the classification for normal standard floors in commercial and industrial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as 5mm.

• SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a perfect quality finish is not required. This level allows for a maximium deviation depth of ten millimetres.

If you need to check the screed floor for load bearing, a structural engineer is needed to carry out the testing. The testing will make sure that your new screed surface is viable for the load bearing requirements laid out in the site survey. This can include what's known as a drop hammer test which assesses various aspects of the flexibility and strength of the screed. Any screeding that's got point load requirements must be okayed by a certified structural engineer observing the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.
